Disinfectant Efficacy & Surface Validation in Pharma: Ensuring Cleanroom Microbial Control Comprehensive Guide to Disinfectant Efficacy & Surface Validation in Pharma Introduction Disinfectant efficacy and surface validation are critical components of contamination control in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In sterile and non-sterile environments alike, disinfectants must be validated to ensure they effectively reduce microbial bioburden on cleanroom surfaces without leaving residues or compatibility issues. This article outlines a complete protocol-driven, regulatory-compliant guide to disinfectant validation in line with EU GMP Annex 1, FDA expectations, and internationally accepted standards like ASTM and EN norms. Regulatory Expectations Regulators require that all disinfectants used in…
